Crossing over between 3G/4G and Wi-Fi – Seamless and Robust

Not a long ago, when we started talking about small cells, the first question we would always hear was “why do we need small cells, when we have Wi-Fi?” But that has rapidly evolved into “how can we ensure that the interworking between 3G/4G and Wi-Fi is robust and seamless?”

The interworking becomes even more crucial considering the looming 1000x challenge, in which Qualcomm envisions dense deployments of small cells, most of which are integrated with Wi-Fi.

When it comes to wireless mobile networks, it is a heterogeneous world out there—there are a large number of small cells interspersed with macro cells. HSPA+ and LTE Advanced incorporate many techniques that effectively address the interference generated by such heterogeneous networks (HetNets), some of which are available today.
